Too bad she likes boys. Just my luck eh? Haha.

Luckily, I did meet one girl who likes girls AND ball pythons. She's not a huge fan of my interest in expanding my collection, nor was she a big fan of my boas and crestie, but she tolerates it. Our very first bonding point was that we both had BPs! Lol. Still can't get her to go to expos or to talk science with me, but nobody is perfect. I never thought I'd find a girl like her, but we've been engaged for over a year now.

The point of this tirade was to say...you'll find someone for you, probably when you least expect it, but she's out there.
Glad you found someone!!! And congrats on the upcoming nuptials
Difficult finding a guy OR a girl, I know this! Just so happens there are no geeky, snake loving, xbox playing, metal music loving, prone-to-bursts-of-randomness girls in my town or around!! So just as well I stumbled on the guy equivalent who looks slightly like Jeremy McKinnon from ADTR and all I needed to do was work out the reptile kink

and to the OP - I'm sure your mum will understand if you explain to her I'm awful at talking to guys....nervous, stuttery, and I have this horrific laugh I do after I'm done blabbering non stop that I feel to literally hit myself when i'm finished
